Man never has the right to dispose of his life, since it is only given to God to retrieve him from captivity on Earth, when He judges opportune.

Nevertheless, Divine justice may soften the rigours in accordance with the circumstances, reserving however all severity towards he who wished to evade the trials of life. The suicide is like a prisoner who escapes from prison before he has served his sentence, and who when recaptured is treated with greater severity.

The same happens with a suicide who imagines he is escaping from the miseries of the moment, only to plunge into even greater misfortunes.
